After verifying that all of the necessary components were shipped and present, you can
begin the assembly of the cell.
To assemble the CF016P-FO Cell:
1. Wet the O-rings with a small amount of water or the fluid to be processed and install
them into the grooves on the cell bottom.
Caution:
Make sure that the O-rings lie flat in the grooves of the cell bottom. Leaking may
occur if the O-rings do not lie flat in the grooves. The O-rings will be cut or crushed when
the system is operating if the O-rings are not installed correctly.
2. Place a piece of pre-cut membrane on to the cell bottom using the two alignment pins
to hold the membrane in position. The membrane should be installed with the shiny
or active side down facing the feed solution (bottom) in an FO process and facing the
draw solution (top) in a PRO process.
Note:
If you are cutting your own membranes, the membrane’s outer edge should fit
between the inner and outer O-rings in the cell body to prevent leakage.
3. Place the cell top plate by aligning the two pins on the sides of the cell.
4. Secure the cell top by inserting and tightening the provided tightening knobs into each
of the corner holes.
The CF016P-FO Cell is now assembled and ready to be connected to a feed pump for
operation.
